I promise I've paid due diligence trying to solve this one through Google, but just can't come up with the solution (I've probably overlooked something very simple).

In Apache, I can forward a captured variable from a RewriteCond check like this: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} tag=(.*) RewriteRule ^fastsearch(.*) /tags/%1? [L,R=301]

but I can't seem to find the nginx equivalent as the following doesn't work: if ($query_string ~ "tag=(.*)") { rewrite ^/fastsearch.* /tags/%1? permanent; }

My server admin is requiring that we run the stable version (0.6.35) so I can't use the $arg_PARAMETER introduced in 0.7.*.

What am I missing?

if ($query_string ~ "tag=(.*)") { set $tag $1; rewrite ^/fastsearch.* /tags/$tag? permanent; }
